Turn Off All Syncing

To disable syncing altogether for all devices and for your .Mac account, use the iSync application preferences. Open the iSync application (it's in your Applications folder). From the iSync menu, choose “Preferences….” Uncheck the box to “Enable syncing on this computer.”

The next time you choose to sync, you can use the .Mac preferences as explained on pages 290291. As soon as you click “Sync Now” in the .Mac prefences Sync pane, this button in the application preferences pane will automatically check itself on.
